I've never heard of the Mac earplugs,i may check them out. I already ordered a set of the Radians so I'm gonna give them a go first.
Luke,when my Pops had his Road Star he swapped the factory pipes out for a set called straight shots. They were loud with the baffles in,and stupid loud with them out. But whether the baffles were in or out the aftermarket pipes were much quieter than the factory TO THE RIDER. I suppose the sound waves were shooting past the rider and annoying everyone else. With the factory pipes you could hear a constant drone that was very distracting,even uncomfortable after only a few miles. With the straight shots the exhaust was very quiet from the saddle,almost ignorable really.Until you nailed that is. The helmet I have now is very quiet compared to my old helmet,it helped alot. But I wonder,if you find a helmet that fits tight enough to act as ear muffs will it allow airflow thru the helmet and burn you up in warm weather? Just a thought.

No worries Sarge, I knew exactly where you were coming from. I know it ain't just you and me on here.There are other people reading ,too. Likewise,I was talking in general,not directing my comments directly at you.Amen, Brother!
Most of my comments were aimed at everyone besides you. I tend to write for anyone who might read these posts, as well as the person I respond to. Sorry if I came across as preachy to you -- I was preaching at the folks who think earplugs are dangerous. Cheers, Shiny!
